<p>Rabben et al. (<span>2025</span>) investigated the perceptions and experiences of individuals with advanced-stage cancer and their family caregivers regarding shared decision-making in palliative care. Five key themes were identified by the researchers through qualitative interviews: (1) treatment options are intrinsically connected to critical life-and-death decisions, underscoring their importance; (2) patients and caregivers expressed varied expectations and preferences regarding their participation in decision-making; (3) uncertainty existed regarding the practicality and scope of shared decision-making, affected by emotional challenges and systemic obstacles; (4) access to high-quality information and effective communication was considered vital for meaningful engagement and (5) the role of nurses in the decision-making process was not clearly delineated. The findings highlight the critical necessity for enhanced, inclusive communication strategies within palliative care. We present various viewpoints on ensuring the provision of high-quality information and communication for individuals facing advanced cancer.</p><p>Initially, healthcare professionals must evaluate the informational requirements, cognitive abilities and preferences of each patient regarding their participation in decision-making. Tailoring discussions to these particular factors enhances engagement and helps patients and caregivers navigate complex medical information. Open, honest and compassionate conversations about prognosis, treatment options and expected outcomes are essential for building trust and facilitating informed choices. Structured and coherent conversations that involve both patients and their family caregivers promote shared understanding, reduce ambiguity and improve collaborative decision-making. Moreover, collaboration across various disciplines is crucial; engaging nurses, social workers, and palliative care specialists fosters a holistic approach and ensures that communication remains consistent within the care team.

We read with great interest the recent article ‘Risk Prediction Models for Frailty in Adult Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Methodological Appraisal’ by Zhang et al. (2025), an important contribution to the field of predictive modelling in nephrology. The authors adeptly summarised methodological challenges and highlighted the critical gaps in the development and validation of frailty prediction models. However, through a deeper reflection, we would like to revisit and expand upon certain aspects of their findings, particularly regarding the methodological rigour, clinical utility, and future directions for research and implementation.

However, there is little research on standardised assessment tools for self-management in older people with chronic pruritus.

AimTo examine the perceptions of nurses receiving the Ontological Coaching among Nurses (OCN) intervention in Singapore.DesignDescriptive qualitative.MethodsConvenience sampling was used to recruit 34 nurses who received OCN intervention and three coaches who provided the intervention. Written informed consent was obtained, and semi‐structured, one‐on‐one interviews were used to collect data, which were then transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.ResultsThree themes with nine sub‐themes were identified. The main themes were: (1) From ‘Outlet to Confide’: Ontological Coaching as an Enhanced Sense of Fulfilment; (2) Mindset Readiness and Openness for Successful Coaching; and (3) Future Endeavours for Sustainable Coaching Practices.ConclusionThe findings show that nurses benefitted on personal and professional fronts from receiving coaching. Further evaluations are required to see the potential of using coaching intervention for novice nurses.Implications and ImpactAs frontline key players in our healthcare system, nurses face a unique set of challenges that impact their psychological well‐being. The impact is even more significant for early‐to mid‐career nurses, leading to poorer quality of life and high turnover rates. This paper highlighted the importance of resources made available to novice and mid‐career nurses through coaching. The perceptions of nurses who received coaching intervention serve as a foundation for future studies examining the relevance of ontological coaching in the nursing profession. The nurses' recommendations reported in this paper include building awareness of coaching and incorporating flexibility into coaching programmes to help enhance their readiness to receive and engage with coaching for a more fulfilling coaching experience. Incorporating these recommendations can help inform future coaching‐related interventional studies.Reporting MethodThis study adhered to COREQ guidelines.Patient and Public ContributionNone.
